Synopsis

White magic is a documentary film about Svalbard and the people who live there. This is Europe's last wilderness and possibly the most gun-tight society in the world. What brings people here? What is it that fascinates? Why is it so difficult to leave here once you are bitten by the famous ""polar bacillus""? The director Lisbeth Dreyer stayed on Svalbard for several years. In this film, she asks questions and gets many answers - in the face of one of the world's most northerly settlements and a magnificent, white, beautiful and dangerous nature.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
